W HILE JULIAN’S ‘FOOD court confession’ had temporarily alleviated everyone’s nerves, they came back in full force as they sat on the incredibly long flight across the Pacific. According to Devon’s calculations, they would land in Osaka with about forty minutes to find whatever little coffee shop Julian had seen in the vision. Needless to say, every little detail helped, and they spent endless hours recounting everything he had seen: from the street numbers, to the advertisements, to the types of clothing the pedestrians were wearing.

Rae was called upon many times to translate something in Japanese, but, in the end, it was to no avail. There were just too many places where it could possibly be.

As fate would have it, it was random chance that pointed them in the right direction.

“Excuse me?” a young Japanese woman tapped Rae on the shoulder.

Rae turned around in surprise, and the girl’s eyes temporarily glazed over as Devon and Julian followed suit on either side. Rae resisted the urge to roll her eyes at the handsome dudes beside her. “Um...yes? Can I help you with something?”

“I’m sorry to interrupt. I know it’s kinda rude. It’s just...you all have been talking for a long time and I couldn’t help but overhear.” She smiled apologetically. “You say you’re looking for a coffee shop next to a skating rink in Osaka? Well, I don’t know about the coffee shop, but there are only three skating rinks in the city, and two of them are closed down at the moment. You want the one on the south end. I can give you the streets.”

“Really?” Rae blinked in surprise.

She smiled. “Really. My friends and I go there all the time.” She must have misinterpreted the blank looks of astonishment on their faces entirely, and backtracked as fast as she could. “I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to be eavesdropping. It’s just, you said it was life or death. Maybe it’s not...”

“No! It is! I mean, it’s not. It’s, uh... Well, thank you. Thank you so much!” Rae exclaimed, wondering if it would be weird if she gave the girl a hug through the chairs. “It totally is life or death, we...we really like skating,” she finished rather lamely, wishing she had come up with something better to say.

The girl smiled shyly and wrote down some symbols on a napkin, passing it through the slit in the chair.

Rae translated them immediately in her head. “Thank you so much, really!” she thanked the girl again before turning back around to her friends. “This is incredible! We can just call a cab from the airport and go right there.” Maybe Fate didn’t want Cromfield messing with its plans either.

“See, Jules!” Molly nudged him cheerfully. “You’re saving this guy’s life.”

Julian took an unsteady breath. “Yeah, or , if we hit any traffic, we’re going to get there just in time to see him get shot to death.” His friends paused uncertainly, and he shook his head with a tired sigh. “I’m sorry, I’m just...I’m going to be really glad when this goose-chase is over.
